You would be suprised to find out that mongodb is still popular for the wrong reasons

It is also popular for the right reasons too. Sometimes you want to aggregate large datasets incredibly fast.

Sometimes you want user defined queries which are easy to restrict to parts of a dataset by rules.

If you don't have a use case for something, it doesn't mean no one else does.

Which NoSQL store are you talking about regarding fast aggregations? I don’t think that’s a property of all NoSQL dbs.
